*Sunday*

I sat at the park while all the boys played a full court game. They even had lil groupies as cheerleaders on the sideline. I was in the bleachers focusing on the game. Everyone was talking about this being a rivalry game so I had to come out and watch. I liked watching the Lakers play on tv so this wasn't too far out of my comfort zone.

There was the white team which consisted of RaiShaun, Morgan, Corrion, Brandon, CJ, and Brody. CJ was only 12 years old so he just gave them water but he wanted badly to be on the team with RaiShaun. They reminded me of how Lil Saint was about Rico and vice versa.

The black team consisted of Kenny, James, Rodrick, Antonio, and Damien. I didn't know Damien that well but he was cool. While everyone else took this game seriously, Damien laughed about it all. His smile was pretty and contagious.

The score was tied at 37 and they were only going to 40. It was .34 seconds left on the clock. I stood in the bleachers as my nerves got bad. RaiShaun was my baby but Kenny was my first love.

I watched as RaiShaun guarded Kenny while Rodrick was trying to pass the ball to him. Rai'shaun pulled up his basketball shorts and bit down on his lip. Rodrick was finally able to give Kenny the ball without RaiShaun blocking it.

"Come on pussy, shoot the ball," RaiShaun taunted as Kenny dribbled the ball.

The crowd laughed at RaiShaun trashed talked. The laughing only made Kenny go harder. He turned and dribbled the ball faster, making the game speed up. Kenny crossed paths with Damien, blocking RaiShaun from guarding Kenny. Kenny passed the ball to James who was set up on the 3 point line. Brandon heavily guarded James, forcing him to throw the ball back to Kenny. Kenny went up to make the perfect three. That was until RaiShaun hopped up and smacked the ball down.

"Get that shit outta here boayyy," RaiShaun teased as Kenny gave him the bird. Rai'Shaun looked up and waved at me. Kenny noticed and bumped his shoulder "accidentally".

Brandon took the ball out, just as the clock started up. He threw the ball in towards Corrion who was being guarded by Antonio. Antonio was a good 5'10 while Corrion only stood at 5'3 but Corrion was faster.

The clock was down to 10 seconds and the entire white team was ganging up on Corrion. Corrion passed the ball to RaiShaun who was standing in the paint unguarded. Raishaun caught the ball mid-air and dunked it.

I didn't even realize I was biting my nail until my nail came off too far down. I looked around at the crowd. Most people were looking crazy because they were rooting for the black team. But the white team fans were jumping up and down and screaming.

I walked to the court and met up with Monique who was talking to Morgan. "Hey Myya," Morgan said acknowledging my presence.

"Hey. Nique, you coming over today?" I asked her avoiding eye contact.

"Until you can look at me and tell me a certain secret you've been keeping, no." Monique walked off. Morgan looked at me apologetically before following her.

I started to trail behind them until Jermaine blocked my path. "You stupid hoe! You gave me Chlamydia," he yelled causing a few people to turn around and stare.

"What are you talking about? I only fucked you once and you a quick pumper so it wasn't long," I snapped.

"I don't care how quick I came, you still gave me a disease. If all these people wasn't out here, I'd fucking kill you with my bare hands," he snapped back.

"The day I had sex with you, you picked me up from my doctor's appointment. All of my tests came back clean you stupid, dumb bitch." I hit him in the chest with every word. He looked as if he remembered picking me up from the clinic.

I stormed off pissed at the fact that I could possibly have Chlamydia and now the whole neighborhood would know. That ain't even the worse part. This also means that Kenny, RaiShaun & Morgan could possibly have the disease too.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Come in," I mumbled, pulling the pillow from my face. I turned over and kept my eyes closed.

"Demyya, we need to talk," I groaned before squinting my eyes at my momma.

I pulled the cover over my head and turned back over. It was four thirty in the morning and I had just gone to sleep an hour ago. I was binge watching Orange Is The New Black. After the whole incident at the park, I just wanted to be alone. All of my sex partners were blowing my phone up, that's was until Jermaine called and got it turned off.

I felt my bed dip down and my cover being pulled back. I looked towards Jurnee's bed and it was empty. She never sleeps in here anymore. Fine with me.

"I know it's early, but we need to have this talk now before it's too late," my momma said causing me to face her.

"What ma? What is so important that it couldn't wait until the morning?" I said while my voice dripped with pure annoyance.

"Word around town is—"

"I don't care about the word around town. I know I made a mistake but I would know if I had a disease," I yelled getting irritated. As if God was giving me a sign, my vagina started itching.  I wouldn't dare it to mention it to anyone though.

"Demyya Jordaan Thomas! Who are you yelling at? Ion know what these rabbit ass lil boys done did to ya head but you will not talk to me in that tone! Do you hear me?" I nodded my head and shifted my eyes from left to right.

"Sorry, momma. But I'm tired of people talking about it. Then you come in hea' waking me up to talk about it, just pissed me off more, " I smacked my lips stopping myself from getting loud again.

"I know daughter. I'm bouta get ready for work so I wanted to talk to you before I left out. Don't go to school today. Your appointment's at 9:30. You'll have to catch the bus so here's a few dollars," she said handing me thirty dollars.

"Thanks, Ma," I said getting back comfortable in bed.

"You're welcome. You know I love you, right?" she asked walking to the door.

"Yes, ma'am. I love you too," I said propping my pillows behind my head. "Make sure you close the door all the way too," I called out.

I was sitting in the waiting room of the Planned Parenthood clinic. Morgan was the only one of my sex partners that weren't mad at me. He saw my papers that stated that I was clean from all diseases. He even picked me up and came here with me to get tested. I was glad because I'm sure they would've turned me around without a guardian or someone over eighteen.

"You nervous?" Morgan asked me as he held my hand.

I nodded my head and turned my attention back at the wall full of possible STD's. I was just so oblivious to all the different types of STD's and the symptoms that came with them.

"Ms. Thomas? Mr. Merrisol?" Morgan and I stood up and walked to the lady. "Follow me," the short white woman said as she lead us down a long hallway with a bunch of exam rooms. When we made it between Exam rooms 7 and 8, she stopped.

"Do you want to do this together or separate?" she asked as she looked between us before opening the door.

Morgan looked at me and shrugged his shoulders. "It don't matter to me. We're sexually active so I would like to know her results as well as mine," he said speaking up. I shrugged as well. I honestly didn't care.

We sat in the room just staring off in space. Morgan looked unbothered while I could feel my face burning with embarrassment and discomfort. He only had to do a mouth swab but I had to do a vaginal swab.

There was a knock on the door causing me to snap my head in the direction of the door. Nurse Harris walked in with some papers that I assumed where the results. My hands started sweating as I held them under my thighs.

"I'm back with your results," she said sitting in the metal chair across from Morgan. I closed my eyes right before opening them and looking over at Morgan.

"You both took the same tests which were HIV, Hepatitis B and C, Gonorrhea, Herpes, Chlamydia and Syphilis," Nurse Harris explained. I fidgeted with my fingers as my eyes were fixated on the floor.

"Morgan, your results were.." she looked down at the papers, reading over them. "Your results all came back negative," she said handing him his papers. Morgan sighed in relief and looked up at me with hopeful eyes.

"Demyya, your results were.." she started as she looked down at my papers. My heart started beating faster as I anticipated my results. "All of your results came back negative," I thanked God before she could finish. "Except for Chlamydia," she finished.

I felt my soul leave my body as I watched from above. How could this be? I saw Morgan grabbed me and pull me into a hug. He planted a soft kiss on my forehead.

"Demyya? Ms. Thomas?" Nurse Harris called out. I looked up to see her and Morgan staring at me.

"I need you to answer my question. How many sex partners have you been with? Is it possible that they could have acquired this disease from you?" she asked nervously. I looked at Morgan with tears in my eyes.

"Morgan, can you step out ple.."

"No, he should be here for this. I've slept with four boys including Morgan. I've received oral sex from someone else." I shook my head rapidly as tears continued you fall. "I just had a checkup two weeks ago. I don't understand."

"Well diseases are easily spread, Ms. Thomas. Since you've taken your last check-up, how many of these young men have you had sexual intercourse with?" Nurse Harris asked studying my face. I looked away from her and Morgan's stares.

"All four of them," I admitted.

"What are their names?" she asked getting ready to write them down.

"Morgan Merrisol, Kenneth Hudson, Rai'Shaun Carter, and Jermaine Tucker.

"In which order, after your last check-up, did you have sexual intercourse with them?" she pried.

"Jermai... No I left the clinic, Jermaine picked me up but we didn't have sex because I had to go home," I remembered. "So, Morgan, Kenny, Jermaine and then RaiShaun," I said looking back at them.

"Do you want me to contact them or do you think you can?"

"I can do it. I made this bed, I guess I'll lay in it," I replied.

After being prescribed some antibiotics called Azithromycin, Morgan and I headed to Walgreens. I was so spaced out, all I could do was think. How could I let sex get me in this predicament? How was I gonna tell Kenny and RaiShaun that it was true and they needed to be tested?

"Stop thinking so much about," Morgan said stopping at a red light. He gave me a small smile before giving the car gas and making a left into Walgreens parking lot.

"I'll go in and pick it up for you if you want," Morgan offered.

"If you don't mind," I responded lazily. He slid out the car and walked into the store. I just wanted to get home and go to sleep. I can't believe this is real. Can I wake up from this dream?
